Gnudi
Type of pasta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gnudi (Italian: [ˈɲuːdi]), also known as malfatti,[1] are gnocchi-like dumplings made with ricotta cheese and semolina instead of potato flour.[2][3][4] The result is often lighter than the more dense and chewy gnocchi.[5] Gnudi is the Tuscan word for 'naked' (in standard Italian nudi),[6] the idea being that these "pillowy" balls of ricotta and spinach (sometimes without spinach) are "nude ravioli", consisting of just the filling without the pasta shell.[7][8]

In Tuscany, it is understood that tradition dictates the dumplings are served with burnt butter and sage sauce, sprinkled with Parmesan or pecorino toscano cheese.[9][10][11]
